The follow-up to 2006's 'Meds' was recorded in Toronto by Dave Bottrill (Tool) and mixed by Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine/Nine Inch Nails), and heralds a new era for the veteran rockers.Frontman Brian Molko has discussed the new album by saying: "We've made a record about choosing life, and choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light. Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it's there, it's essential; it's a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead". He continued: "I'm very optimistic about the future. I'm in a positive frame of mind and a good headspace. It's very exciting. There's a lot of life in the old dog just yet".
